Propaganda mass media are preparing for the shooting of stories about such "active participation of local residents in voting".
In the temporarily captured territory of the Zaporizhzhia region, local residents are promised cash rewards and household appliances for providing passport data and obtaining citizenship of the Russian Federation.
